Defensive Depth Chart 2021

[Swamp Donkey]

What do you expect? Lots of holes to fill:

SDE Princely/Lang
NT Humphries /Lee /Goods
DT Dexter, FR
WDE/RUSH Cox Chatfield Bogle Reese Summerall, Powell
ILB Diabate Burney Hopper
ILB Miller Houston Wingo
Nickel Corner/Star Elam
LCB Hill
FS Torrence
SS Dean, Trevez Johnson/McDaniels/Rogers
RCB Kimbrough Helm/Wilcoxen/


Not many snaps up there on the front line, at all. Honestly, some of the DBs I don't even remember.

 

[NVGator]

We look burnt but depending on DC.

Grantham gotta go. I gotta kick out of this tweet by Saturday Down South@SDS

"Grantham going with the Ol “nobody guard Devonta Smith” approach. #SECChampionship

 

[sminings]

This years defense was terrible. Next years defense will be historically atrocious.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Better be hitting that portal hard.

Do we expect Carter to be gone?

I'm going to be excited to see Black on the team, and curious if he's smart enough to see the field.

In all fairness, next year is going to be similar to 2007, only without the talent

 

[URGatorBait]

The fact that Wilson isn't on that list is a tremendous improvement

Apparently someone saw Carter saying F this crap I’m gone anyway. Could be just emotional but my guess is gone

he's a 4-year junior, let's hope he leaves

The names on the depth chart don’t scare me nearly as bad as the man filling those names in. You could have 11 NFL HOFers on there and Fat Todd would find a way to screw it up.

D-Line:

There's rumors that Goods & Humphries are transferring - one of them is supposedly already gone (off campus, no longer taking classes)..."rumors", nothing confirmed.

Dunlap is coming back, and like it or not, he'll be a starter.

Lang needs to have a good off-season, keep putting on weight and learn the position - he didn't have a spring and he steadily improved as the season moved on.

Add a DT transfer in place of Goods/Humphries.

And there's a possibility that one of Carter, Campbell, or Slaton returns. Those three had a good game last night.

 

[78]

Seriously, do we even want to do this right now? Reviewing the defensive depth chart after last night is like reminiscing about the honeymoon on the way home from signing the divorce papers.

Leaves, gets rona, quits the team, transfers, I don't give a schit, I just never want to see his ass in a Gator uni again

Aren't Dunlap, Campbell and Slaton out of eligibility?

Where you been Bernie? The NCAA has granted all seniors another free year of eligibility in 2021.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Where you been Bernie? The NCAA has granted all seniors another free year of eligibility in 2021.

My understanding of this rule is that they now have 6 years to play 4 instead of 5 years to play 4.

So Trask could play another year because he didn't see the field in two seasons, but those other 3 all played 4 years already.

ANY senior can return, period.

If Trask returns, EJ transfers.

NCAA Extra Year of Eligibility | Coronavirus Rules

What does an extra year of eligibility mean?
Traditionally, a student-athlete has 5 years to play 4 years of their sport. An extra year means a current college student-athlete would have 6 years to play their 4 years. This means, NCAA student-athletes can compete in all or a portion of the 2020-21 season, but it won’t be counted against their years of eligibility depending on their division level specific eligibility rules.

The only thing that saves our D at all next year is the portal. We went from having an SEC defense to a B12 defense in less than 3 years. It needs an overhaul and a few years.
